It is, isn’t it?
Were parts of Baltimore burned and looted during the riots because of a lack of funding, or even proposed cuts to funding? Let’s check in with Sally Kohn on that one:
As Baltimore burned, what did Republicans do?
Propose cuts to urban development while increasing Pentagon budget!http://t.co/w22cky7KqI

In other words:
GOP totes responsible for state of city dominated by Democrats for 50 years. https://t.co/kAuHGupfhZ

Ugh! Sally will never get it. Or at least she’ll pretend to never get it.
"Urban Development" is what made Baltimore what it is. There hasn't been a Republican policy implemented in that city 4 decades @sallykohn

Billions of dollars have been spent on "urban development," in dem cities. Nothing changes, Ever. Why is that,Sally? https://t.co/lCP1E3WzyS

FIFY @sallykohn:
Before Baltimore burned for decades, what did Democrats do?
Everything.

.@sallykohn Because solution to billions of dollars wasted on failed programs…. is billions more spent on the exact same programs. Got it.

.@SallyKohn – Story of #Baltimore is one of decades of failed Leftist policies. GOP are spectators in its debacle. https://t.co/trQL86WQxH

@sallykohn All politics is local. In the case of Baltimore, the Dems own it.
— Sarah Angelopoulos (@Sarangelop) May 1, 2015
@sallykohn So we need to give them more shit to burn down? Sending my dollar to the inner city for the sake of spending isn't the solution.

The frantic flailing of progressives as the truth re: their urban planning/welfare/education policies are exposed.?@sallykohn @politico

@sallykohn Do u have any idea how much money has been dumped into "urban development" in Baltimore the last decade? Fucking dummy
— Only Rosie (@rjc05) May 1, 2015
@sallykohn @politico yes throw more money at it, cause money solves everything.

@sallykohn Why did Baltmore burn? 50+years of corrupt democratic rule that controlled police, city council, budgets of the city.

@sallykohn funny, you mention Republicans but not the dem mayor vetoing body cams on police, or that balt has been under dem rule for 50+yrs
— Subtle Deviancy (@subtledeviancy) May 1, 2015
@sallykohn You forgot to blame Bush too. You guys are slipping on your talking points. Glad to help you out here.
— Gibson (@gibson_dbg) May 1, 2015
@sallykohn but…. Urban development didn't work. Does that matter?
— Couch Potato Analyst (@CouchTaterAnlst) May 1, 2015
Why spend money on shit that will get burned down? should take the money & build 4 or 5 P.F. Chang's in the suburbs @Matthops82 @sallykohn
— Ole Pappy (@fapnot) May 1, 2015
Some “urban development” doesn’t exist anymore because of the rioting:
@sallykohn why should taxpayers pay for urban development when Baltimore burnt down housing set aside for the elderly?
— Subtle Deviancy (@subtledeviancy) May 1, 2015
The condensed version of this story:
@sallykohn Baltimore run by Dems since LBJ was Prez. Please. Mr. Gray did not die from a proposed cut by the Appropriations Committee.
